The monument, if that’s what it truly is, consists of a slightly sunken circular area measuring roughly 5.9 metres from northwest to southeast and 4.35 metres from east to west. What makes it intriguing are the two quartz slabs and a single upright stone, known as an orthostat, which stands about 0.7 metres tall and 0.75 metres wide. Around the base of this standing stone, there’s evidence of what might be packing stones; small rocks traditionally used to secure larger stones in place.

The true nature of this site remains something of a mystery. It could be an ancient archaeological monument, or the sunken area might simply be the result of old quarrying activities. However, the presence of the upright orthostat with its possible packing stones suggests there might be more to this place than meets the eye. The arrangement of stones and the circular depression certainly hint at deliberate construction rather than natural formation or simple extraction work.

Local tradition adds another layer to the story. According to residents like S. McGinley, who spoke with archaeologist Caimin O’Brien in August 2010, this collection of stones marks the location of a children’s burial ground. Such sites, whilst often undocumented in official records, hold deep significance in Irish folk memory. Whether this is indeed an ancient burial site or has acquired that association through generations of local storytelling, it remains a poignant reminder of how landscape and memory intertwine in rural Ireland.
